artificial heartache feat. Momone Momo x Defoko (Utane Uta)

// artificial heartache ft. #桃音モモ + #デフォ子 💜🩷🪻 i normally don't do this, but here's sort of a short snippet of what this song is about: in this song, defoko and momo are portrayed as old, outdated robots that don't get any use, so they're both going to be deactivated soon. they still work, but there's no reason to use them anymore because there are simply better options available. so, they're wistfully counting down the days until they die. they also love each other. they've spent their entire lives with each other. it seems like these days concatenative vocal synthesizers like defoko and momo are becoming less and less used by producers, primarily due to the rise of AI assisted vocal synthesizers, like VOCALOID6, Synthesizer V 1 and 2, CEVIO/Voisona, etc. because of this, they're the forgotten bunch most of the time. admittedly, i do not use concatenative voicebanks as much as i'd like to, but regardless i still hold them very close to my heart. this song is their little reverie all to themselves, isolated from the fast-paced nature of the modern Vocaloid scene. while i have to market this as a 'doomed robotgirl yuri' song for views (joke), i do consider this song to be quite hopeful. they get to die in each other's arms. that's all they ask for. it's extremely bittersweet. an artificial heartache. ------------------------------------------------------------------ CREDITS: thank you so much to @Alois_iiou for this jaw droppingly gorgeous looking music video i am so incredibly happy with how pretty it is and defomomo looks so good in their style!!!! please check out their channel they make such beautiful animations https://x.com/alois_iiou vocals: uta utane + momone momo whisper song, tuning, lyrics: reiilumina https://x.com/reiilumina ustx/instrumental: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1H9YzYDzRQ_HLuLqyA4SBYfzwIyIjk4BS?usp=sharing stream on spotify/apple music/etc: https://too.fm/qbamqan ------------------------------------------------------------------ lyrics: if i could be safe in your light then i can glow so bright if i could love right by your side you’re the breath of air when i’m struggling to breathe your love is all i need in my heart, the parts still bleed every night i feel our hearts take flight every night you're out of sight cause you were the breath of air || as i'm counting down the days when i was struggling to breathe || my whole heart left on display watching you drift away (drift away) if i could see stars in your night then i will know our love, in flight 'cause i will die right by your side (right by your side) if i could be safe in your light then i can glow so bright if i could love right by your side and i know i won't be forgotten but my destiny is already written you’re the breath of air when i’m struggling to breathe your love is all i need if i could- then i will- 'cause i will die right by your side if i could be then i can know 'cause i will die right by your side
